GRANADA, Spain — Four French climbers were killed and two were missing in an avalanche in the Sierra Nevada mountains in southern Spain, officials said today. The provincial governor’s office said Civil Guards suspended search operations for the day after recovering four bodies 10,000 feet up on the Mulhacen, the highest mountain on the Spanish mainland. It said the group’s only woman escaped as the avalanche hit a 200-by-50-yard area near Caldera Lake on Sunday afternoon. She reached a refuge hut and called for help.
